Another documentary. Vox Pop: How Dartford Powered the British Beat Boom, a documentary about the Vox Company, from which we learn that Dartford has a Mick Jagger Centre and that in 1967 there was a Voxmobile, built by George Barris to support up 32 plugged in guitars, complete with ‘three powerful VOX Beatle amplifiers, complete with reverb, treble/bass boost and mid-range boost. There is an array of speakers hidden in the framework. In all, there are 2 main drive speakers mounted atop the intake manifold, five 12″ speakers, one 18″ bass speaker and four tweeters’.

Funny to see the Mick Jagger Centre mentioned! That used to be my old school gym – I played basketball in there all the time. When plans for a music centre were announced, they asked us Dartford Grammar sixth formers to come up with potential names. With Mick as an alumni, the suggestions were pretty unanimous :)
